3D & VFX

Container

Blender 3D and Substance Painter

This is a conceptual piece created around the theme of an already extinct, moribund future. Chiefly, the model was modelled in Blender 3D and based on reference photographs of Shipping containers. The textures were created in Substance Painter endeavouring to communicate weathering and age, whilst hinting at a not too distant future.

Extend and Replace

Various

These are a series of set-extensions and sky replacements utilizing both luminance and chrominance keying that control various atmospheric and set-based elements.

Tank Bot

Maya, Blender and Substance

Taking inspiration from the work of Simon Stalenhag I created this in Maya, then exported that mesh to Substance Painter for texture painting, then composited the model; textures; lighting; shadows and, AO in Blender compositor. I then added custom Edge Blending and Lighting Wrap to further integrate the CGI into the Live Action Plate.
